Definitions

  • FIG. 1F is an SEM image of exemplary Er—Fe gas atomized powders before sieving
  • a series of hot or cold working steps may be at least 3, at least 5, at least 10, at least 20, or at least 40 and typically no more than 100 hot or cold working steps carried out sequentially.
  • the hot working may entail rolling, extrusion, forging, drawing, and/or another mechanical process carried out at an elevated temperature and resulting in plastic deformation of the sintered Ni—Ti—RE alloy.
  • the cold working may entail rolling, extrusion, forging, drawing, and/or another mechanical process carried out at room temperature to further plastically deform the alloy.
  • hot working is performed prior to cold working.
  • interpass annealing steps may be carried out between cold working steps or passes, in order to reduce strain and to increase the workability of the alloy for subsequent cold working steps. What may be referred to as interpass annealing or re-heating steps may also be be carried out between the hot working steps or passes.
  • 12 current pulses and two off-current pulses which is known as a 12/2 sequence
  • the sequence of 12 on pulses followed by 2 off pulses for a total sequence period of 46.2 ms calculates to a characteristic time of a single pulse of about 3.3 ms.
